This Domaine that covers a huge range of villages specialises in whites and over the past decade have raised their stock exponentially. The wines have a clear purity and minerality as well as a lovely weight and richness of fruit.
The focus and precision is what makes them really stand out and with Celine Fontaine and her husband Fred Robert (formerly of Armand Rousseau) at the helm, you best keep a close eye on how high this Domaine will climb!
Optimal drinking window: Now - 2033
What the critics say:
"The 2019 Volnay Clos des Chenes ler Cru which had slightly more generous yields than Chassagne since it was less affected by frost, has an intense, rather laconic bouquet that feels tight at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip on the entry, firm and masculine, Pommard-like in terms of austerity but there is depth and plenty of black fruit on the finish. Cellar this for 4-5 years if you can."
"Spicy and moderately high-toned aromas of mostly red cherry and violet are trimmed in subtle nuances of wood toast. The sleek, intense and finer middle weight flavors possess good delineation that carries over to the firm, serious and youthfully austere finish that is the mostly complex and most structured in the range. This is definitely going to require at least some patience but is a wine that should be well worth the wait. 'Outstanding'"
